The Orthodontic Workhorse
Metal braces are the type of braces we use most often. They work great for patients of all ages in Louisville and Radcliff. They use metal brackets and wires that slowly move your teeth into place. Contemporary metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than you probably think! They offer precise control over tooth movement. That’s why they’re an excellent choice for complex orthodontic issues.
The Unseen Expert
Clear braces work similarly to metallic ones. But they’re made of ceramic materials that blend with your teeth. This makes them less obvious to onlookers and a super popular choice for tweens, teens, and adults who want a more discreet option. They provide the same consistency as metal braces while offering a more aesthetic appearance.

Clear aligners, like Invisalign and Spark, are an in-demand alternative to braces. Why? Because they provide a nearly invisible way to realign your teeth. At Knight Orthodontics, we offer two leading brands: Invisalign and Spark.
Stealth Mode

Invisalign is well-suited for mild to moderate orthodontic dilemmas. Better still, it’s a convenient option for those who want flexibility and discretion in their treatment.
A Spark of Hope
